Development of a Species-Specific PCR-Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism Analysis Procedure for Identification of Madurella mycetomatis

Abstract excerpt

Madurella mycetomatis is the commonest cause of eumycetoma in Sudan and other countries in tropical Africa. Currently, the early diagnosis of mycetoma is difficult. In attempting to improve the identification of M. mycetomatis and, consequently, the diagnosis of mycetoma, we have developed specific oligonucleotide primers based on the sequence of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) regions spacing the genes...
